Q: hey i have a bit of a problem. When my mom met my boyfriend about two to three weeks ago, she told me after he left that she thinks he looks dirty( his clothes look dirty, his hair, ect). I looked at my boyfriend this morning and i see what she means. i love my boyfriend, dont get me wrong but he looks like he doesnt brush his teeth, his hair was a mess, he had stuff in his eyes and a stain on his shirt. (Just to let you know, we go to a private school which requires us to wear a uniform). At times, he smells too. I dont know how to tell him with out sounding mean or rude. Is there any way to say something about it?

another thing is, i notice how in class today, he sits right next to me in both the classes we have together, that about half of the time, he will talk to my friend that sits right next to him and he is always hugging other girls and calling them "sexy". this kinda gets me mad/jealous. I dont know how to tell him with out sounding like...annoying. Most of the times when we are hanging out in the morning, i will be talking to him and one of his friends will walk by and he will go and talk to them. What should i say to him about it? I hate getting ditched like that.
Thanks!
First of all, you have to decide whether this guy is for real or not. If hes making you jealous or mad, tell him straight up how you feel and what you would like to change. If he cant accept how you feel Id say that hes not worthwhile for me, but thats just my opinion. As for the hygiene problem, ive been in your shoes. I had a friend who was the same way. One way I helped her realize that she kinda, well, stank, is that I said "So what kind of toothpaste do you use? (well I wouldnt say it to her like that but Id find a better way to say it) but it kinda makes you think more if you know EVERYONE ELSE is brushing their teeth and stuff and theire not. So anyways, I hope this helped!!! ACE

Thank you! I'm going to ask my boyfriend that question next time I talk to him. Which will probably be online because we ask each other questions.
